Hi Martin,
the GoodRelations Annotator worked well. To try it out I used it to create
and publish a semanticweb.rdf file for my embryonic business at
http://www.3kbo.com/semanticweb.rdf.
I'm interested in extending the links from the semanticweb.rdf to other
things. In particular linking the BusinessEntity with people and with
other BusinessEntitys.
Initially I added the URI of my foaf file to the BusinessEntity instance
using rdfs:seeAlso, but after reading the definition of BusinessEntity
i.e. that it "represents the legal agent making a particular offering and
can be a legal body or a person" I changed it to owl:sameAs.
E.g.
<gr:BusinessEntity rdf:ID="BusinessEntity">
...
<owl:sameAs
rdf:resource="http://www.3kbo.com/people/richard.hancock/foaf.rdf#i"/>
...
</gr:BusinessEntity>
This makes sense for my simple case, since as a sole trader I am the
BusinessEntity and owl:sameAs also provides an inferred link from my foaf
file to the semanticweb.rdf.
But I am also interested in describing other more complex relationships
between a BusinessEntity (when not a person) and the people involved with
the business (e.g. directors, CEO etc ...) and between other
BusinessEntitys.
Do you now of an ontology along the lines of foaf
(http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/) and relationship
(http://vocab.org/relationship/) that could be used?
Cheers,
Richard Hancock
